Chapter 350: Chapter 349: Astonishing Speed
Under the command of General Feng, the Wind Divine Soldiers corrected their direction time and again. Although they chopped down many giant trees, the Illusionary Array still affected them to some extent, forcing them to constantly adjust their path.
"I can’t believe they’re using such a crude method to break the array..."
The expressions on Ye Qingxuan and the others’ faces were grim. They hadn’t expected such a vexing tactic; it was obvious the enemy had come prepared. Since General Long and his men were already trapped inside, these newcomers clearly had no intention of suffering the same fate. So, they resorted to this least efficient but most direct method.
"That’s right. If this continues, they will definitely find us. The Wind Divine Soldiers are particularly fast and can cover a great distance in an instant. At this rate, it will take them three days at most to find the Spirit Race!" Elder Yan estimated roughly. If they could simply run, they could reach the Spirit Race in a short amount of time.
But with this dumbest of methods, it would take them three days to find the Spirit Race village. The method might be dumb, but it kept them safe and, more importantly, made it impossible to launch a sneak attack.
The moment anyone tried a sneak attack, General Feng would strike back immediately. Whether the attacker could escape would be another question entirely.
"Then what should we do now?" A worried look appeared in Ye Qingxuan’s silver eyes.
With so many powerful Wind Divine Soldiers, it would be a massacre if they broke through. General Feng alone was strong enough to annihilate them all in an instant. Even though she knew Yi Tianyun was strong, she couldn’t help but worry.
"We await the Spirit King’s instructions!" Elder Yan said solemnly. "The Spirit King ordered us to guard this place. We must remain here until he arrives."
The other elders nodded in agreement. Now that they acknowledged Yi Tianyun as their Spirit King, they would obey his commands. If they didn’t listen to their king, what was the point of even having one? They would follow his orders unless he told them to act at their own discretion, and his last order had been to watch the enemy’s movements and await his return.
’I hope the Spirit King has a solution...’ Ye Qingxuan thought, growing more anxious. She worried that Yi Tianyun might just charge out to fight. The pressure of facing a powerhouse like General Feng was no small matter.
After the enemy had penetrated a good distance further into the forest, a familiar figure finally appeared behind them, and a familiar voice spoke up. "What’s going on here? Are they trying to clear out these giant trees and then charge straight in?"
"Spirit King!" When they saw Yi Tianyun approach, they felt something was different. ’Has he gotten stronger again?’
Their senses hadn’t deceived them. Yi Tianyun had indeed achieved a breakthrough. After consuming the Fourth Refining Soul Pill, his cultivation had soared to the seventh level of the Core Formation Stage. Such a rapid advancement was astonishing. ’But from now on, my progress is going to slow down significantly,’ he thought. ’Without any major quests, it’ll be hard to level up this quickly again.’
’For now, I can only level up by killing monsters. As for when I’ll get another quest, that just depends on the circumstances.’
"Yes, they’re using the dumbest method to invade, inching forward bit by bit. If this continues, they’ll reach our territory in less than three days!" Elder Yan said gravely.
"Three days, huh..." Yi Tianyun nodded, then looked toward the enemy. "I’m going to go test them out."
Then, Yi Tianyun silently floated over, took out the Ice Divine Bow, quickly drew the bowstring taut, and aimed at the Wind Divine Soldiers outside.
"Fury of Ice!"
His strongest move erupted. With the eight-times Mad Damage Mode activated, its power surged. The next moment, a thick Ice Arrow shot out, its damage value instantly soaring to 46,000,000!
After his cultivation breakthrough, the damage bonus was even more astonishing. The Ice Arrow exploded forward, turning everything in its path into a world of ice and snow.
In the blink of an eye, the Fury of Ice had already burst out of the forest, rushing toward a group of Wind Divine Soldiers. The very instant it flew out of the forest, General Feng’s eyes narrowed. He vanished in a flash, reappearing in front of the Wind Divine Soldiers and fiercely swinging his longsword.
"Wind’s Roar!"
In that instant, he thrust his sword hundreds of times. A fierce hurricane swept toward the Fury of Ice, coalescing into a massive Wind Dragon that roared and bit down on the icy attack!
BOOM!
Following the massive explosion, a hurricane raged back into the forest, catching the Fury of Ice within it. It transformed into a blizzard that swept toward Yi Tianyun’s position! Wherever it passed, numerous giant trees were uprooted and swept away, and the ground was frozen solid.
Yi Tianyun’s eyes narrowed. He quickly dodged to the side, easily avoiding the blizzard’s attack. Though he had evaded it, his heart sank. ’He’s incredibly strong!’
This General Feng was far stronger than General Long; they weren’t even in the same league. The data displayed by the Eye of Investigation explained the true situation perfectly.
General Feng:
Cultivation: Void Spirit Realm, Fourth Level.
Equipment: Celestial Wind Divine Sword, Hurricane Armor, and Hurricane Boots. (All are Low-Grade Sacred Artifacts). All pieces are engraved with Acceleration Divine Patterns, increasing his speed by 50%, resulting in astonishing velocity.
Combat Power: Up to 48,000,000 (when unleashing most of his power)!
Weakness: Fire counters his Wind Attribute.
Martial Arts: Wind Divine Technique, Wind Sprint, Wind’s Flash.
Loot Drop: Celestial Wind Divine Sword...
The power he had just unleashed in that instant reached a full 48,000,000, completely overwhelming the power of Yi Tianyun’s Mad Damage Mode. This wasn’t unexpected. For an expert at the Void Spirit Realm, the increase in power with each level-up was truly astonishing.
His speed, in particular, was terrifying. He was so fast that Yi Tianyun had only caught a glimpse of an afterimage! As a Wind Attribute user, he was already fast enough, but he was also empowered by a set of Heavenly-tier equipment, engraved with numerous Acceleration Divine Patterns. Even Yi Tianyun was stunned by such heaven-defying speed!
"Did I miss?" General Feng stopped his attack, his icy gaze fixed in this direction. "Your strength isn’t bad, but it’s still lacking. If you have the guts, face me one-on-one. If you can defeat me, you can ensure the safety of your Spirit Race. Otherwise, we will carve a path straight through to your nest!"
This was tantamount to General Feng issuing a formal challenge to Yi Tianyun for a fight to the death. A man who enjoyed one-on-one duels, he disdained sneak attacks and preferred direct confrontation.
’Fight you head-on? Do you think I’m an idiot?’ Yi Tianyun sneered. Faced with General Feng’s immense power, however, he knew he needed to come up with another plan.
